What difference does that make? This is about housing prices, not capacity.

The cost of housing isn't just the price of the unit. If you need to spend an extra $500/mo on the commute, plus random budget buster repairs, a "cheap" house can be less affordable than an "expensive" one.

Those things can both apply to a condo.
